Project

Soc & Embedded System Design Environment and its Applications to Wireless and Security

• High level objective: Develop next generation VLSI/ SoCs and Testbeds
• Leverage Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham’s expertise on Wireless Network, Cyber Security and Analog Design
• Utilize University of Tokyo’s expertise on Algorithms and Programmable hardware
   

Objectives

• Build a low cost, PC based, robust testbed to test embedded software running on Design Under Test (typically a micro-controller) using a hybrid approach, combining both event driven and Time triggering mechanisms to satisfy both timeliness and schedulability properties of a terstbed.
• To use PMEs techniques (Patterns for Migration of Embedded Systems) to migrate the design of an Insulin Pump prototype from a complex, error prone, event driven architecture to simpler time triggered architure, that has been deterministic experience.
